14.11.2 WebSphere Studio Application Monitor V3.1 (WSAM)
The capabilities provided by the Tivoli Monitoring products and the WebSphere tooling still lack functionality vital for subject matter experts in L2 or L3 operations support groups.
One of the products that was designed to address the needs of these operations groups was developed by Cyanea, which was acquired by IBM, and becomes part of the Tivoli brand.
WebSphere Studio Application Monitor monitors applications running on WebSphere and WebLogic and presents a correlated view of composite, mixed workload transactions from J2EE to CICS, IMS, and WebSphere MQ back ends.
